Figure Lengend Snippet: Data are presented as histological scores at termination, following day 42 p.i. intradermal challenge, grouped by route of sensitization with C . burnetii Nine Mile ( Cb 9M) (i.p., intraperitoneal; i.n., intranasal) or saline controls. Scores are shown for injection sites harvested at day 7 p.c. (open shapes) and day 21 p.c. (filled shapes). Values are presented by challenge dose (A) 0 μg Coxevac, (B) 1 μg Coxevac, (C) 2 μg Coxevac, and (D) 4 μg Coxevac. 1 Histopathological scoring (0–5) is as noted in . Error bars represent group mean and standard deviations. Group mean differences assessed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple correction test; *P≤0.05; ** P≤0.01.
